Hey #authorsky and #booksky, a question for your collective expertise: if you had to boil down the process of publishing a book into steps or phases, how would you do it?
I can think of at least 5 phases of developing and publishing a book. Is there more? What about self-publishing? Please share!

Friends, if you’ve never had the joy of reading Ray Bradbury’s glorious story “Usher II,” allow me to recommend it particularly at this time.

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

I missed you all so much. And most of you will never interact with me; I’m nowhere near important enough for @roywoodjr.bsky.social or @markhamillofficial.bsky.social or even @pixelatedboat.bsky.social to ever acknowledge, and that’s okay — but it’s so nice to hear my friends’ voices again! #bluesky

#edusky, I have a question. How do you feel about rubrics that do not go up to 100?
Several teachers I know do this. They say they do so because they want kids to strive for that extra ineffable ‘something.’
I have my own thoughts on this but I would love to hear your professional opinions.

this is literally the future republicans want: public funds for segregation academies and religious private schools that actively discriminate against LGBT students or students with special needs
NEW: Private schools across the South that were established for white children during desegregation are now benefiting from tens of millions in taxpayer dollars flowing from rapidly expanding voucher-style programs, a @propublica analysis found.

A win today! Admin knows my stance on testing, but still, was pleased to have a convo where I advocated for ditching STAAR warmups that just teach kids to try not to get tricked by a test, and won support for creating more authentic exercises that still generate that almighty data.
